The Flare Game| ‘70s Trend With Ease

Skinnies, take a seat. 

Love, Flare!

Skinny jeans move back. Please give way to the unsung hero of the denim world. For the last few years denim world has been dominated of skinny silhouettes. Skinny jeans have stayed on top for so long. I never thought I'd see so many stylish women abandoning their skinny jeans to embrace the wide-leg, the bell-bottom, and the kick-flare for the last season. Yes! Yes! Flares are back from the seventies with a vengeance. Flares emerged out of their cave of uncoolness to make a stand once again, trouncing down the runways and on the streets on the legs of editors, bloggers and street style stars.

If you're a skinny-leg loyalist, if you've put Flares in a no-go zone because you think they'll be unflattering or hard to pull of, let me explain: bells help elongate your stems, especially with higher waists and platforms, so you'll look extra lean. The ultimate leg-lengthener. It balance hips and flatters every figure. 

But of course some styling tricks are required: You have to be aware of your waist. Don't pair it overly long tops and a heel, a pair of wedges or platform clogs really takes the leg-lengthening aspect to your height. Flared jeans is about dressing like you mean it. It's not about lazy dressing.

I'm skinny and petite (ever since!Boo!) so proportion is everything. I've seen slimming capabilities of flare jeans. It will make me look extra thin (though, I'm super thin already!haa!) and I don't want that. I added a a sleek striped crop top to create an illusion of a wider upper half.

Little Shoulders to Bare

How is summer over already? It flew by warp-speed style and I’m sad to put long days by the beach wearing bikinis and endless road trips behind. It pains me to see summer slip away. But it pains me more to think that  rainy season is here already.

Stripe Away!

An extremely stunning island with pristine white sand and an Acropolis with Grecian pillars and statues on the edge of the island overlooking the blue sea.

Can you guess where I am?

Summer is here! I'm ready to go under the sun and explore.

A visit to the beach is one of  my life’s greatest pleasures. I typically enjoy a beautiful beach destination, as I find the crystal blue water and sand to be the 

Seize the Summer

It's the time of the year again. My heart is jumping. I'm exhilarated and excited, all at the same time. 

The blue sky and the sun beating down hard outside is nature's way of reminding me that my favorite season is just around the corner. Two more weeks and I'm done with the finals. Few more days before I break up and bid farewell to school requirements, home works and all! Oh please, fast-forward to Summer! I can't wait to free my wild gypsy soul. 

WHITE: not just for the Bride

A new and another month starts. February just flew by and I'm a little heartbroken now because my friends (more than friends)/Sissies from another womb are  flying back to Canada this coming Sunday. 

To start my post, I would like to  talk about the perfect place to shoot we've discovered inside our campus. Oh!I feel like I'm the first lady inside the Malacanang palace. Just Kiddin. This is one of the many amazingly picture-perfect spots  in our university. I just died!!! Ahhhg!  I couldn't ask for more, so perf!

To combat the hotter temps that are starting to sneak up, I have decided to bring up the mood up with a white-out ensemble. I've been into color co-ords lately and I'm so obsessed with it. I finished off this look with a dash of pink hue to brighten up the ensemble.

WHITE is not just for the BRIDE. The standout shade was a hit on the catwalk with models dressed from head to toe in the crisp color. Even celebrity's ensembles on-and-off duty are inspiring us to run into our closets and figure out how wear to the shade year round.

What I Wore: Fashion Week

Well, fashion week just flew by. What had happened was simply one of a kind experience for me. I can't get over. The glitz and glamour, me being surrounded with beautiful and fashionable crowd was simply amazing. It's the most exciting point in my fashion diary. But there's one question circling around my mind before the big day: "WHAT AM I GOING TO WEAR??" "WHAT AM I GOING TO WEAR??" "WHAT AM I GOING TO WEAR??"!!! haha! Seriously! I was in a greater degree of panic than usual because in this event, what you wear really matters.

Newbie to #F21xPhFw

 I attended my first ever "legit" fashion show a week ago. My first, but definitely not my last.  I've been waiting for this all my life. I have been in love in  fashion for as long as I can remember and to see a fashion show, to see it LIVE is one of my greatest dream. Who wouldn't love and dream about it if you're a fashion enthusiast? right? 

Ph Fashion week is the country's biggest bi-annual fashion event. It is when all  trendsetters redefines what it means to be fashionable. All lovely and fashionable head turner ladies and gents gathered in one event to heads up  on  the trends they will score and strut on the next season.
